FW: Java authentication under SquidNT 2.6 STABLE 14 using NTLM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Under the advise of the 3rd party I have added the following to
squid.conf

    acl Java browser Java/1.4 Java/1.5 Java/1.6
    http_access allow Java 

This appears to resolve the issue. However I would like to better
understand it the above line, and whether it is an acceptable full-time
solution, or merely a workaround.

Subject: Java authentication under SquidNT 2.6 STABLE 14 using NTLM

Last week (Thursday/Friday) my organisation moved from SquidNT 2.5 to
SquidNT 2.6 STABLE 14. We use a Java applet which generates parcel tags
and prints them off. It was working fine... until today. We are running
Java 6 Update 2 and users connect using NTLM passthrough authentication,
squid looks to see that they are a member of group X before allowing
them access. Java is setup to use the same settings as the browser. We
are seeing the following in the console output

java.lang.NullPointerException

Having spoken to a chap at the company behind the software he indicated
that this is a problem with the passthrough authentication, which is
further supported by the fact that if we take a workstation which runs
this application and give it a direct connection to the Internet,
everything works just fine. Yet, as I say, we upgraded last week and it
was working fine on Monday and nothing has been changed in the config
since, though the service was restarted this morning.

I am seeing quite a few TCP/DENIED entires in the access.log file
relating to the site in question:

TCP_DENIED/407 1789 CONNECT web.site.com:443 - NONE/- text/html
TCP_DENIED/407 2035 CONNECT web.site.com:443 - NONE/- text/html

I note from the logs that where we register NONE, there should be the
username of the individual in question.

Any help would be much appreciated.
